Japanese

取り巻くこの世界に　白い羽が舞い降りた
限り有るからこそ強く美しく光る　刹那を見つけた

無機質に閉ざされた　虚ろな日々に　初めて夢を見た
―――― キミニ、触レタイ ――――

そんな存在に気付かない君は 「さよなら」って 或る日言った

幾千の月日を越え 目覚めた 積もる想いを
何故、伝える術さえなく 見送る事しか 許されていないの？

　　遠離る、影･･･！

No way to tell you my heart せめて 今　伝えさせて！
奇跡が一粒の涙へ変わった 『永遠』と引き換えに･･･

Romaji

torimaku kono sekai ni shiroi hane ga mai orita
kagiri aru kara koso tsuyoku utsukushiku hikaru setsuna wo mitsuketa

mukishitsu ni tozasareta utsuro na hibi ni hajimete yume wo mita
―――― kimi ni, furetai ――――

sonna sonzai ni kizukanai kimi wa "sayonara" tte aru hi itta

ikusen no tsukihi wo koe mezameta tsumoru omoi wo
naze, tsutaeru sube sae naku miokuru koto shika yurusarete inai no?

　　toozakaru, kage...!

No way to tell you my heart semete ima tsutae sasete!
kiseki ga hito tsubu no namida e kawatta "eien" to hiki kae ni ...

English

White wings descended lightly to the world that encircles me because it is finite
That is why it shines strong and beautifully, I have found that moment

In those blank days when I was shut away in lifelessness, I saw a dream for the first time
―――― I want to touch you ――――

You who knew nothing of such existence, one day said "goodbye"

Thousands of days and months have passed, awakened are the feelings that have grown for you
Why, I don't even have a way to let you know, am I only allowed to watch you go?

　　Fading in the distance, shadows･･･!

No way to tell you my heart, at least, let me tell you now!
Miracles transformed into a single teardrop in exchange for "eternity"･･･

Long Version

Japanese

取り巻くこの世界に　白い羽が　舞い降りた 限り有るからこそ　強く美しく光る 刹那を見つけた 無機質に閉ざされた　虚ろな日々に 初めて夢を見た 『キミニ、触レタイ』 そんな存在に気付かない君は 「さよなら」って　或る日　言った 幾千の月日を越え 目覚めた　積もる想いを 何故、伝える術さえなく 見送る事しか　許されていないの？ ふと見せる表情が　大好きだった 話してくれた夜　幸せだった 回るはずのない　歯車が軋み 回るほどに　堕ちていった 解っていた　叶わぬ恋 だけど　止められなかった 君がいない永遠ほど　この世界中に　恐いものはない ―――遠離る、影‥‥――― ―――訪れた、最後の瞬間(とき)――― No way to tell you my heart せめて　今　伝えさせて 例え　何もかも全てを　奪われてもいい せめて　この想いを‥‥！ 「―――！！」 奇跡が一粒の涙へ変わった 『永遠』と　引き換えに 取り巻くこの世界に　白い羽が　舞い降りた 限り有るからこそ　強く美しく光る 刹那を‥‥見つけた

English

White wings descended lightly to the world that encircles me Because it is finite, that is why it shines strong and beautifully I have found that moment In those blank days when I was shut away in lifelessness I saw a dream for the first time "I want to touch you" You who knew nothing of such existence One day said "goodbye" Thousands of days and months have passed Awakened are the feelings that have grown for you Why, I don't even have a way to let you know Am I only allowed to watch you go? I loved that expression that flashed across your face I was happy on those nights you talked to me The gears that will never come to be But it could not be stopped There is nothing scarier in this world than an eternity without you ―――――――― Fading in the distance, shadows ････ ―――――――――――― ――――――― It has arrived, the final moment ――――――――― No way to tell you my heart At least, let me tell you now Even if everything that I have is taken from me, I'm indifferent At least now I feel ････! "―――――――!!" Miracles transformed into a single teardrop In exchange for "eternity" White wings descended lightly to the world that encircles me Shining strong and beautifully for an instant because its finite existence I have found that ････ moment

Song Production Information

jun

"I ... am ... here.
Please, find me, hear, my voice ... "

DoLL.
That is the reality of destroying your feelings, yet letting your smile never fade.
Are you sad? Do you want to cry? You still can't let your smile fade.
Your heart aches, as if your soul is going to tear apart? ... even so, you keep smiling.
Because ... because, you can't look for anything else in life.

On the other hand, do you think there is such thing as "eternity"?

" ...... !!"

This is the song that seemed to flow from within me, "DoLL".
How many people will be able to sympathize with this sort of tale?
I've filled this song full of the hope of being able to shine, even for just a short moment.
Yes, everyone can ...... everyone can ...... even you ......
...... even me.

NAOKI MAEDA

jun wrote the music and lyrics for DoLL; I was in charge of the arrangement. I was left with such a deep impression at jun's piano demo, I wanted to expand on the DoLL world view, even while finding a fitting way to incorporate it into the HYPER series of songs. To that end, I was glad to throw countless time and effort into the arrangement for DoLL.

TЁЯRΑ is the representation of my belief in the power of "pop". So, I will be happy if the TЁЯRΑ sound can reach even just one person.

Video Production Information

GOLI

I've managed to make a movie as powerfully touching and joy-bringing as TЁЯRA's music. Or rather, it happened of its own accord.

Really, though it's anime (it looks a bit like a movie extra, doesn't it?), even though the song is great, just before I started this, I fell into an unexpected increased workload.

Every day this song called out to me, and I could hear it during every waking hour of every day. On the trains, in my studio at home, and of course whenever I was at work. Man, how many times have I heard this? I can't even count anymore. But I never got tired of it. What's with that?

This song is so well done that no matter how much you hear it, it still stays good. On top of that, the BPM is nice and speedy, and lends itself to being felt well.

Anyhow, it seems that all across the country, people are playing this song over and over; it's very moving to see.
